Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the global healthcare landscape, enhancing efficiency, diagnostics, and patient outcomes. With Nigeria witnessing a surge in AI-driven healthcare innovations, businesses must navigate an evolving regulatory framework to mitigate legal risks and harness AI’s full potential.
The global AI healthcare market, valued at over $16 billion in 2022, is projected to reach $150 billion by 2026. Nigeria’s AI healthcare sector is also on an upward trajectory, expected to grow from $0.01 billion in 2022 to $0.13 billion by 2030. As AI adoption accelerates, stakeholders—including hospitals, tech firms, and investors—must align with emerging regulations to safeguard patient data, ensure compliance, and build trust.
